Uttar Pradesh
Indian state
Uttar Pradesh is a state in northern India. Its city of Agra is home to the iconic Taj Mahal monument, a colossal, domed, white-marble mausoleum honoring the wife of Mughal ruler Shah Jahan. Named Mumtaz Mahal, she died in childbirth in 1631. Nearby are the 20m-high, red-brick walls of Agra Fort, a Mughal fortress and palace dating to the 16th and 17th centuries.
